RE: Coloring the RPG code

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Ok, I admit, it wasn't RPG, it was the following CL

/*  End Dekko Pent Mfg's EDI:                                  +
             CHGDTAARA  DTAARA(DEIDIVF/CLOSE (1 1)) VALUE('Y')   */

Both lines would have been light green in Code/400 indicating a comment.

Buried in several lines like:
/*  End Pent Products' EDI: (Central) */
             CHGDTAARA  DTAARA(PPIEDIF/CLOSE (1 1)) VALUE('Y')
/*  End Pent Products' EDI:  */
             CHGDTAARA  DTAARA(PPIAR2F/CLOSE (1 1)) VALUE('Y')
and on and on and on...
It didn't stick out in SEU

But, yes, in RPG the color really helps versus the asterisk.  Try it for a
few weeks.

Is it just me, or is this patently offensive?

You need help seeing an asterisk in position 7, yet someone who is
comfortable in SEU is a dinosaur?

I guess many of my clients are positively Precambrian.

Yeeps.
